now i know why....

floyd wants no part of cotto and margarito. floyd can box and be slick but forget that. history doesn't gaurantee nothing for floyd winning let alone surviving.IMO cotto hits floyd 10 times a round it'll be over in 10 and anything more then that would only shorten the fight.

Seriously cotto hurts guys, floyd is no exception. Now i know why floyd is seriously avoiding fights against margarito and cotto. Theres a huge risk of him geting battered and embarrased. Yes i know kermit or gomez is not floyd but still. these guys are monsters at welterweight.

Now you believe and now you know why Floyd calls him Bob Scare'Um.
Because Floyd is afraid of Bobbies boys.

Now we have Cotto vs Margarito.
(Where is Majesty?) I told you this fight would happen.

Floyd will not be able to duck the winner of that fight but he will find a way and he will most likely say he is retired or that he wants to go take showers with The Big Show, Leonard Ellerbe and Triple H.

;D

I don't think Cotto even trained for Gomez.
;D

I actually think this makes Floyd want to fight Cotto a bit more and I think the fight gets made after Margarito.

floyd is looking more and more like a pussy, and it doesn't help how margarito and cotto are beasting like this. The retirement front floyd is doing is pathetic, I don't think theres nobody in boxing history as big of a pussy like floyd thats seriously avoiding to get fxcked. He says its all about money, imo he brings no money into no fight. people came to see oscar and hatton nobody travel and was like ooh shyt i gotta see floyd fight. the ones that werent there to see hatton or oscar were there to hope floyd gets sparked. Cotto imo would bring majority of the real supporters then floyd. Cotto has puerto rico, new york, florida etc while floyd got what??? oscar and hatton to bring in the fans....cotto could do the same but floyd knows he'd be in huge danger.

Cotto was fukking brutal today. I can't believe people gave Gomez a chance. Shitt I can't believe I actually thought Gomez would go 12 with him. How foolish of me

your not alone, i was concern about gomez also. Maybe it was just cause its been a year of upsets but its over now and im glad there were no upset. feel bad for the reality check gomez is going through now.

Me and Danny look pretty smart now, don't we!!!!!

Cotto is just getting started, and he is just going to get better, and better.

That was easy pickings for Cotto. I loved that look he gave Gomez after round 1, because he never does that, but I think that was his way of letting Gomez know that he has him. Classic!

I give credit to Gomez for stepping into the ring with him, but Gomez also needed to be humbled, and Cotto did it with ease!!!

I'm going to have to add him to the Miguel Cotto Art Gallery. ;D

Diane, don't want this to come across as egotistical or in a bad way but long before you and Danny arrived I've been preaching the Cotto Gospel.
Wish you could have witnessed the things that were said about Cotto then you would be on the floor laughing.

From him being one dimensional, to him not ever accomplishing much, that he would have no room to improve because of the talent that was around at 140 and up... and yadda! yadda! yadda!

I love and gloath on the fact that the way older people talk about how they saw Ali through his career, SRL, Hagler, Duran etc. etc. I can now boost and say I've got my own set of fighters I've followed from the start and or early in their careers.

Cottos my generations Duran, my generations Gomez, my generations Napoles.

Was it his mail man?

Haha! ;D He knocked down Gomez with a jab.

Let Mayweather waste his time fighting pointless rematches and stupid wrestling fights. Let the real warriors fight each other. Between these 2,minus the PE fight,they have cleaned out most of the division.Clottey,Cintron times 2,Judah,Quintana,Mosley. Now let them fight. Let Mayweather sit on the sidelines.

Are you kidding me ?? talk about way overrating someone. Just because Cotto beat a mediocre fighter like Gomez doesn't change a thing. Mayweather is still one of the most skilled fighters ever to grace this sport. And Cotto still has flaws which someone like Mayweather can take advantage of. And Cotto and Margarito have a good chance of battering and embarrassing Mayweather ?? what the hell are you talking about seriously ?? Margarito is good and i like him but his footwork is still slow, and his punches are still too wide. And as Cotto yes he would do well against Mayweather but embarrass and batter someone of Mayweather's class ?? i think not.

the thing that really impressed me with cotto last night is the way rather than going hell for leather and rolling over gomez as many expected him to he took his time picked his shots and looking amazing in doing so
this alone convinces me he beats floyd , if he landed one of those clean little combos per round hed soon sap pbf's power and slow down those little dancing feet of his;D

Cotto has been patience in the past thats nothing different, check out his fight against Victoriano Sosa who went 12 rounds with Mayweather. Cotto slowly took him apart as well.

But lets remember here the punches that landed on Gomez a majority of them punches wouldn't land on Mayweather. And lets remember this is Gomez here who is a mediocre fighter at best, but im glad so many people think Cotto will beat Mayweather, so when Mayweather beats Cotto that will make his win look even more impressive.

ye that goes without saying that mayweather and gomez are a gulf apart in terms of ability

however....

mayweather is not impossible to hit, judah had him down (although it wasnt given as a knock down when it should have been) de la hoya caught him flush at times , and hatton also wobbled him early on and i just feel that cotto would be able to really capitalise in a way that none of those fighters managed to

Judah is much faster than Cotto though, even Judah wobbled Cotto a few times with his extremely quick hands. ODLH never really caught Mayweather flush i don't think anyway. And plus ODLH was throwing in bunches and bunches something Cotto doesn't do too often IMO, Hatton caught Mayweather off balance i don't think Mayweather was wobbled, but all these opponents have something in common they were all outclassed mate ;)

I think Cotto's timing is awesome and timing beats speed every day of the week!

Floyd has great defense and that's great for protecting his head and body but Miguel Cotto doesn't care WHERE he hits you only THAT he hits you.


I want to see Floyd battered and bruised and totally beaten as a fighter..."Am I cut?!?! Am I bleeding?!?!?!" Floyd will be hoping he can mumble those words past the broken jaw he'll have if this fight ever happens!


Miguel Cotto will do the world a favor and have Floyd's jaw wired shut FINALLY!

Maybe but you have to take into account the good possibility of Floyd having a trilogy with ODLH/rematching Hatton. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

Oh! certainly, I'd imagine prior to your arrival here you knew who he was.
Welcome aboard the Cotto Express Diane stretch your feet out and enoy the room here. El Gamo is also a Cotto fan but like me he is also a Margarito fan.
Diane, I can't stop reading over and over peoples lines about Gomez surprising Cotto and Gomez wining rounds and Gomez taking Cotto to the distance or late rounds. There is NO single doubt in my mind that Cotto could have gotten Gomez out in 1 round but Cotto let off and took his time. He was cautious and took his time. The bad part about this is that now 2 of my favorite fighters might fight eachother next. :-\ Late 2006 when the fight was mentioned by Arum in the post fight interview on the double header they had where Cotto fought Carlos and Tony fough Clottey I was made by El Gamo to choose a side and I went with Cotto he and I have been set up to bet if the fight comes through. As I've said before Cottos more skilled then Margarito and hes a better boxer he can trade and he can box and I expect that to the difference. El Gamo feels that Margaritos pressure style with lots of punches will be the key to victory. You a Margarito fan? I know Danny is.

I've heard this saying on this board more than once..

"To be the best, you have to FIGHT the best"...

Someone f'n drop Floyd off the number 1 P4P spot... How long is he going to be there? Until he's 80? As long as he fights DLH once a year? Sure no one has beaten him yet.. But while there are genuine contenders, and he completely ignores them to take "Money" fights, then he doesn't deserve to hold the number 1 ranking....

Others may argue a different point, but if a figher genuinally does not want to fight any of his main competition, that is arguably enough for me to drop them down on my P4P list.. I respect other peoples reasons for keeping him their though.. But you don't become a champion, then protect your championess by avoiding all the fighters that might knock you off your pedestal... At this rate, he can't be there forever.

Good thoughts bro......;D

http://inlinethumb50.webshots.com/31...600x600Q85.jpg

I for one dont really about mayweather-cotto, we have had tons of great fights already in 08. let Floyd do what he want what matters is the quality of the fight not who is fighting. I mean cotto-margo is going to be a lot more intresting and action packed. We have tons of other good fights in boxing in the other divisions so people should get there fill with those fights

And as for P4P lists, they really dont mean anything its just a list of someones opinion

...I don't know, seeing Floyd getting his jaw broken would be very fun to watch

Ohh yeah..... Let PBF stop running from Cotto and let the fight be scheduled.

Cotto by late stoppage for me.:cool:

Whoever speculates what would happen in Cotto-Floyd, based on last nights fight needs to rethink what they know about boxing.

Cotto in a hard to chatch UD

Yes but your Mayweather hater plain and simple, plus you haven't even seen a lot of his fights that was proved last time.

Call me crazy but i see Cotto fighting Dela Hoya before Floyd.

...all this talk is why floyd doesn't fight either of them right away, by the time he does fight one of these guys it will be so built up, the fight would be riddiculously huge and that's what he's waiting for. Cotto looked awesome this weekend but all this praise from beating gomez is a little over the top, if floyd had beat gomez nobody would care, not to take anything from cotto i would have never predicted that big off and ass whoopin, hell i wouldn't fight his crazy ass but to say floyd is now sitting in a room sucking his thumb in fear...c'mon now. I'd be more scared of fighting margarito consider the level of comp they had this weekend. Big props to cotto and tony, but floyd beats both of these guys, it's always easy to think otherwise till you see our hopes getting bounced of a turnbuckle in the 10th. Cotto is in no way afraid of floyd neither is tony for that matter, but to switch it around and say floyd is scared of either of those two is just as silly.

I agree after Margarito , i think that probably in the end of the Year Cotto will fight with ODLH , if isn't with ODLH , maybe with Joshua Clotey , he is rank #1 in IBF, Margarito heredity the Mandatory fight that Cintron were suppose to make with Clotey , in end of the Year going be interesting for Cotto if he win...........;Dhttp://inlinethumb39.webshots.com/41...600x600Q85.jpg

LOL Cotto and Margarito would've turded Floyd something fierce last night.

IMO the old DLH (who wouldnt stand a chance against these hombres) beat Floyd.

Yes, I like Margarito, but not as much as Cotto. Cotto has been my favorite for quite some time now. I've made a lot of my friends at work big fans of Cotto's as well, I've told them for years, to watch him, and that he is only going to get better and better, and sure enough all my friends keep telling me how right I was, and they just love him now.

Like you, I think this will be a great fight, but it's also a fight that I kind of hate to see happen, because I do like both of them, and I would hate for one of them to lose.

But like you, I am on the Cotto Express, and with Tony's iron chin, Cotto is really going to have to work the body, and stick that left jab. Cotto's confidence is so strong now, and if he plays the role of being more the boxer than the brawler, like he did against Mosley & Gomez, then I feel he will definitely win it on points. I think this one goes the distance.

Actually, just ask Danny who turned him onto Cotto. ;D

Oh! certainly, I'd imagine prior to your arrival here you knew who he was.
Welcome aboard the Cotto Express Diane stretch your feet out and enoy the room here. El Gamo is also a Cotto fan but like me he is also a Margarito fan.
Diane, I can't stop reading over and over peoples lines about Gomez surprising Cotto and Gomez wining rounds and Gomez taking Cotto to the distance or late rounds. There is NO single doubt in my mind that Cotto could have gotten Gomez out in 1 round but Cotto let off and took his time. He was cautious and took his time. The bad part about this is that now 2 of my favorite fighters might fight eachother next. :-\ Late 2006 when the fight was mentioned by Arum in the post fight interview on the double header they had where Cotto fought Carlos and Tony fough Clottey I was made by El Gamo to choose a side and I went with Cotto he and I have been set up to bet if the fight comes through. As I've said before Cottos more skilled then Margarito and hes a better boxer he can trade and he can box and I expect that to the difference. El Gamo feels that Margaritos pressure style with lots of punches will be the key to victory. You a Margarito fan? I know Danny is.

Yes, I like Margarito, but not as much as Cotto. Cotto has been my favorite for quite some time now. I've made a lot of my friends at work big fans of Cotto's as well, I've told them for years, to watch him, and that he is only going to get better and better, and sure enough all my friends keep telling me how right I was, and they just love him now.

Like you, I think this will be a great fight, but it's also a fight that I kind of hate to see happen, because I do like both of them, and I would hate for one of them to lose.

But like you, I am on the Cotto Express, and with Tony's iron chin, Cotto is really going to have to work the body, and stick that left jab. Cotto's confidence is so strong now, and if he plays the role of being more the boxer than the brawler, like he did against Mosley & Gomez, then I feel he will definitely win it on points. I think this one goes the distance.
